Hi, I was just wondering what would happen if the air pump hook up on the header was not plugged or capped after taking the air pump off?

just some exhaust might come out, i wouldnt leave them open for a long period.

when i took my air off, i took the tops off and took it to my grandfather where he metled some brass over the holes with a screw that fit snug into the hole.

Yeah, 1/4" pipe thread plugs screw in where the air tubes used to go. Just got mine tonight, putting them on tomorrow, anyone know how to get that one stubborn bolt in the back of the passenger side manifold off? I can barely get a wrench on it, and there's no room to turn it, I'd rather not cut the tube to get a socket over it, although this would get it off in about 2 seconds.
